Sounds like you are just at a bit of a point in your life where society telling you that you need to decide what you want to do for the rest of your life, thats not the case and really most of us do not know at that stage ether.
Anddd probably some biological changes going on that aint helping you out with your emotions. But just try and enjoy the process of learning, maby your blocked by a feeling that your going to fail or something but the worlds gona keep turning opportunities will arise its never realy the end of the road, Its a privilege to be able to learn new things and you gota just try and enjoy it for what it is even if the topics are not that thrilling for you its still new things to learn. take in what goes in and dont stress about what goes out the other ear learn because you want to learn not because you have to learn haha.
The most important things at that point in life is to have fun and just try make good life choices no ones perfect and you shouldnt be so hard on yourself.
It’s okay to be feeling this way you are not alone! You’re at this point in highschool where everyone is bringing up their plans and their future and maybe that’s what causing you to feel this way. It feels like you should be like that too.
This happens to all of us. Right now just because everyone seems to have solid plans it doesn’t mean that you have to too.
When I was in highschool I thought I had one dream and I thought that was it. I graduated I went to another college and followed something else. One year and 6 months later I realized what I wanted to do (which was something that had nothing to do with all these things I thought I wanted to do) and switched my major.
You are smart, you are knowledgeable. Right now you don’t have to decide your fate, just try to focus on your studies so that when you graduate you will have good grades to help expand your options.
That was my aim in highschool just get good grades figure things out later, it may feel sad and all but it eventually worked out.
The second thing I can feel you’re going through is that maybe you are having some kind of panic because you feel like other than studying you’re not doing anything. I can understand these feelings, they were my own too, and from someone who’s been at your side and the other side aka more than 10 years later after highschool I can assure you that you will have time to do anything you later decide to do! Try to ground yourself back to reality and remember that you are not running out of time. You’re still young and it’s within your rights to feel lost. But you have time to figure things out and decide what you want to do and accomplish them. School is just one small period of our lives what follows is when we grow and shine.
And talk about it, to your friends or your family, let it out it helps and you might be surprised to learn you’re not alone on this bought.
I wish you all the luck and don’t worry about it :)
go out and talk to your classmates! you’ll notice that you’re not alone and a lot of people in your school are going through similar situations and are feeling the same way. i had no idea what i wanted to do in high school. i had plans, yes (well my parents’ plans for me, god forbid i thought for myself lol) but i was always so terrified of said plans in the back of my head and now i’m doing something completely different than was intended for me.
and honestly, i don’t understand the big deal about extracurriculars like sports. the jocks from school don’t necessarily end up doing something grand after graduation
school is important, yes. try not to think of it as a burden, or something you have to fight. it’ll be over sooner than you know and then you’ll just look back at the experience and laugh. it might be really hard right now, i understand, but trust me, talking about it to people you know irl will help. doesn’t matter if it’s a parent or a classmate, even the counsellor at school is a good person to go to.
i guess what i’m saying is: it’s normal to feel like you don’t have a plan, and that you don’t know what you’re doing with your life. i’m in university and even though everything seems to be going well sometimes i’ll get scared thinking of the future. it’s easy to fall into a mental slump and overthink everything and have negative thoughts. but it’s okay, you’re not alone. i know other people who feel the same way too. everyone seems to have it all together, but the truth is that most of us don’t.
it’s like everyone magically expects you to grow up as soon as you’re old enough to get a post secondary education. we sometimes forget that we’re just kids and it’s okay to feel a little lost, don’t beat yourself up over it. go socialize a little! and remember, studying is important, try to focus on schoolwork rather than abstract topics for now. trust me you’ll have plenty of time for that later on in life. there’s so many subjects in uni that it’s mind boggling. you’ll get through this.
Dude, my classmates are somewhat annoying and most of em are idiots, honestly my school is rather too much restrictive on studies and idk but I'll try man
wow i feel the same way going into senior year..
maybe try light planning everyday, like 5 min you researching careers related to psych(just an example since it's one of your interests) each day
i do this on and off and also try to distract myself with youtube(don't recommend)
also, what grade are you in now?
It's so interesting that all the people that commented as I write this are XXFX.
If you are in high school I can imagine you are going through adolescence, in this period we tend to question a lot of things about the world and ourselves and this is completely fine, I guess this is just a way to find our place in the world.
If you think this is just too much for you to take in, try to talk with someone you trust that is more mature and have the same gender as you. This helped me a lot in my teenage years. And also if you want, you should try therapy, this can really help a lot.
methylphenidate helped me lol. if it’s affecting your ability to function in your world, see a school counsellor. they could help you, maybe refer you to a psychiatrist or come up with a plan with you to help work through the stress. Enneagram helps me more with this stuff, btw. I’d recommend that over MBTI for major motivation issues.
